Board Patience

Goal

Move all cards to the foundations.

How to play

One card is dealt to the foundations at the start of the game. This card determines the base rank of the foundations. The foundations are built up by suit, wrapping from king to ace as necessary.

There are ten tableau piles of five cards (except one with six), and the tableau is built up or down by alternate color, wrapping from ace to king as needed. Cards may only be moved one at a time, and empty spaces may be filled with any card.

The game is won if all cards are moved to the foundations.
